This is a hoax. Do a Google search.
On 8/2/2003 at 8:45 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as Judith was
rumoured to have uttered....
| This was sent to me by my brother -- is it legit?
| I found the
| teddy bear icon and the fact it was an .exe file -- No I did
| not open it but it is sitting in my recycle bin but before I
| delete it -- I want to know if I should.
|
| Relax -- this list is not in my address book :-)

| Subject: virus alert with instructions
|
|
| Sorry about this, but the BlankA virus has been passed to me
by
| a
| contact. My address book in turn was infected. Since
| you are in my address book, there is a good chance you will
| find it in
| your computer too.
|
| The virus (called jdbgmgr.exe) is not detected by Norton or
| McAfee
| anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days
| damaging the system. It is sent automatically by messenger
and
| by
| address book whether or not you sent emails to your
| contacts.
|
| I followed the direction below, and easily eradicated the
| virus. Here
| is how you check for the virus and get rid of it.
|
| 1. Go to start, then sect find or search option.
|
| 2. In the file/folders option, type he name:jdbgmgr.exe
|
| 3. Be sure to search your C; drive and all the subfolders and
| any other
| drives you may have
|
| 4. Click find now.
|
| 5. The virus has a tdeey bear icon with the name jdbgmgr.exe.
| DO NOT
| OPEN IT!!
|
| 6. Go to the edit (on the menu bar), choose "select all" to
| highlight
| the file without opening it.
|
| 7. Now go to file (on the menu bar) and select delete. It
| will then go
| to the recycle bin. EMPTY RECYCLE BIN.
|
|
|
| IF YOU FIND THIS VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN
YOUR
| ADDRESS
| BOOK SO THEY
| CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS.
|
| TO DO THIS:
|
| a. open a new e-mail message
|
| b. Click the icon of the address book next to the "TO"
|
| c. Highlight every name and add to "BCC"
|
| d. Copy this message above and paste to email.
